Tuesday Re-Use-Day - 7

On each Tuesday for the next few weeks I am be featuring photos of things that are re-used around Scarecrow's Garden.

Remember to click on any of the photos to enlarge them! smile*How the Re-used items were used is written in bold!

Old Fridges

Old fridges never die in Scarecrow's Garden or Doc's workshop for that matter.See Here for some ways Doc uses them in his workshop.

They are sometimes left intact to become great storage cupboards either inside or out.Just make sure the doors don't seal themselves on old fridgesas they could be quite airtight if kids could lock themselves inside!

Inside they usually have their doors removed so they act more like shelves.

The grill at the back is removed after the gas is emptied(you may need professional help/guidance to do this safely)but then they make good plant bencheswhen stacked on bricks or blocks.

The inside lining of the door makes for handy storagewhen mounted on a door like this one on Doc's workshop door.

When everything is removed and re-used the remaining shellcan be used as a plant bench with pot storage beneath...this one was actually a broody chook house previously!

Thank you for leaving your comments. As soon as I check them they will be published. If for some reason you have trouble leaving a comment feel free to email me directly. Email address is in my profile or use the "click here to email me" on the side bar ------->

Doc and I live in a rural township in the dry Mid North of South Australia on three town blocks giving us a total of half an acre.
We endure extremely hot and dry summers only to be greeted with frosty mornings during our increasingly dry winter months.
Despite this harsh climate we manage to grow much of our own food.
Water is scarce and many measures are taken to utilise every drop we have.
Our garden beds are shaded (during summer), heavily mulched, humus rich and most are now converted to wicking worm beds.
